I Love America, but...

...that Independence Day post has been up at the top for waaaay too long.

I'll tell you, I always have these ideas pop in my head about things I want to blog about. Really, I do. I'll read a bit of news or finish an awesome book and want to share my thoughts with all of you. But then, after all is said and done, I either put it off or just don't have the energy to get all worked up about it. I'll be honest, taking care of a boy that's constantly asking, "Why?" {"Why did T-Rex eat other dinosaurs?" "Why do I need to clean my room?"  "Why are those guys working on the road again?" "Why does the baby only drink milk?" "Why do robots live in space?"}and a six-month-old baby who's just realized he doesn't have to stay in one place can be pretty exhausting. At the end of the day, I'm more apt to sit down with a little ice cream and stream something off Netflix (Downton Abbey, anyone?) than write on here about why I got so annoyed at President Obama's job plan speech. 

But, then again, I need  to do it. I don't know if me posting on here really benefits anyone, but it's good for me to get some of these ideas and opinions of out of my brain. Plus, I enjoy it. And really, I've put just about everything I enjoy on the back burner -- such a common side effect of motherhood, I know.

So yeah, I'm still here. I still have things to say. And if you're out there, still wanting to read it, I'll try to keep it up a little more regularly. Maybe.
